Present in Paris with Zendaya, Austin Butler, Josh Brolin, Léa Seydoux, Souheila Yacoub and Denis Villeneuve for the preview of “Dune 2”, Timothée Chalamet stood out unexpectedly.

As for the first opus in 2021, the Dune 2 team took a detour to Paris, to bring a little sand to the red carpet of the Grand Rex, which hosted the premiere of Denis Villeneuve’s film this Monday 12 FEBRUARY. In a packed room, the seats being gone in a flash.

Interpreter of Paul Atréides in this new adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novel, Timothée Chalamet was obviously present. Alongside Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard and director Denis Villeneuve. Or the newcomers Austin Butler, Léa Seydoux and Souheila Yacoub.

However, the actor did not take advantage of the opportunity to orchestrate the defense of Arrakis… but that of AS Saint-Etienne. His favorite club, whose colors he has worn more than once (during an American talk show in particular, with a jersey offered by ex-captain Loïc Perrin on his back), and whose caps he has given away. and scarves to fans present near the red carpet.

A gesture as amusing as it was unexpected, which brought luck to AS Saint-Etienne, since the club, currently seventh in the French Ligue 2 championship, beat Troyes by five goals to zero a few hours later. Enough to campaign for the Dune 3 preview to take place in your stadium?

In the meantime, and two weeks before the film’s release, scheduled for February 28, here are some glamorous photos from its French preview.
